Today we shot our very first music video with Angel of Sodom, my more than radical old school thrash band. Things are going forward at a breakneck pace, as we shot our band photos last weekend at the very same location that we did the video shoot at today.

I have no idea what the old sea vessel is that seems to be entombed and left to rust seaside at Sompasaari in Helsinki, but it served as a perfect setting and backdrop for our first album single and video piece, Righteous Kill.

I thought I had almost messed up my gear for today, as my car suffered a mishap during the week and ended up in the repair shop over this past weekend and I forgot my band clothes in the trunk. There was no way to get them out today, as the repair shop was closed, so I had to make-do with a new batch of duds to slice and butcher up. In the end, though, I have to say I was pretty happy with what I cooked up!

We had three wrestlers from FCF Wrestling come in, along with a host of others, to serve as the rival gang against our AoS contingent in the story of the video. Wrestler Heimo Ukonselkä was cast as the leader of our adversaries, and in true Mad Max fashion, we duked it out for territorial pissing rights et al. FCF’s Tohtori Ioni and Julia Kyy showed up also.

This Righteous Kill music video will now be edited and packaged for a summer release in some weeks’ time. Keep your eyes peeled for this thrash anthem, and check out the pre-production demo of Righteous Kill below.

A special thanks goes out to Sami Haavisto of Horror Shop in Helsinki, who helped us out with select paraphernalia to make this filming come out just as awesome as it did! Plus a big shout-out to photographer extraordinaire, Marko Simonen, who showed up on his own accord out of the blue to shoot up these spectacular production photos…
